It will be an informal gathering to meet Dr. Maier and he will also autograph any of his books (or paper) if you would like. The Grace Book club has read two of his books this year (Pontius Pilot and A Skeleton in God’s Closet) and are very excited to have him at Grace. Please come join us!

On Sunday, May 4th, 2008 from 6:30-7:30pm at Grace, we will be discussing the book:

What’s so Amazing about Grace by Philip Yancey

Grace is the church’s great distinctive. It’s the one thing the world cannot duplicate, and the one thing it craves above all else for only grace can bring hope and transformation to a jaded world.

In What’s So Amazing About Grace?, award-winning author Philip Yancey explores grace at street level. What is grace? If grace is God’s love for the undeserving, then what does it look like in action? If Christians are its sole dispensers, how are we doing at lavishing grace on a world that knows far more of cruelty and unforgiveness than it does of mercy? In his most personal and provocative book ever, Yancey offers compelling, true portraits of grace’s life-changing power. He searches for its presence in his own life and in the church. He challenges us to become living answers to a world that desperately wants to know What’s So Amazing About Grace?
